About the worshop

Incorporating your felt experience (kinesthesia) with the relational feel of your experience (kinesthetic resonance) deepens the sense of belonging when working with clients in person and is particularly powerful when working with clients online. Kinesthetic Resonance, a foundational principle of DSP™, is essentially made up of the subtle shifting movements always present in each of us and between each of us. Recognizing that we’re in relationship to other bodies while online returns us to our shared humanity.

As part of Jennifer’s 35+ years of experience working in person, she has also worked online with clients for the last 6 years. Since the start of COVID lockdowns in March 2020, she works and teaches entirely online. From this experience, Jennifer has developed ways of incorporating the felt experience of contact into working online -- individually and in groups.

Through relational movement experiments, discussion, clinical application, and demonstration, participants learn how to attend to, and experiment with, subtle shifts in gesture, tone, tempo, and form for themselves and their clients. Applying kinesthetic resonance within psychotherapy is especially valuable in fostering deep and lasting change, sustaining the therapist as well as the client in these disorienting times.

Learning Objectives

Participants completing this workshop will be able to:

Describe the basic concepts of Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy™ (DSP) including Kinesthetic Resonance.

State the role of Kinesthetic Resonance in dialogue and contacting.

Identify how kinesthesia develops and how it can assist both the practitioner and the client within the clinical model, especially when working online.

Develop greater awareness of bodily experience within the online clinical model. This is a prerequisite for the practice of somatically-based therapy and an approach to tracking the evolving relationship between therapist and client.
